Title: Useful info
Post by: b00n on December 01, 2009, 03:51:16 PM
Thread for helpful info. :)

Some handy command line switches:

-winxp : Use it in Vista/W7 to enable multi-GPU support

-nosplash : Skip splash screens

-world=empty : Doesn't load as much for menu, starts faster

-maxmem=2047 : Allows game engine to use more RAM (2047 is hardcoded maximum atm, anything higher falls back to 2047).

-window : Windowed mode

-noCB : Turns off multicore drawing, slow down rendering but may resolve visual glitches

-cpuCount=X : Change X to a number equal or less than numbers of available cores. (2 seems to have the best results....even on quads!)

That looks mighty interesting but...what do you do with that information? Also, what does 'enter' do on the default setting? I use 'enter' to climb over fences 'n' stuff so now I don't know how to get back from 3rd person to 1st person.


If you see what I mean. :)

'keypad enter' normally switches between 1st and 3rd person.

'v' is the default for climbing over things.

To add the variables above, go into Steam, right click and get the game properties. Within that are 'launch options'. Put the variables you want in there....
